"According to a phone app paired to the device, I had apparently been using my shaver wrong. I'd pressed too daintily, whispering along my skin too lightly for an optimal shave. My stats were, in fact, downright abysmal. I had applied optimal pressure just 30 percent of the time. By extension, I had probably been using any number of shavers wrong for years, without knowing."
"The i9000 Prestige Ultra is, on the face of it, something I would not have expected. It is an AI-trained shaver, offering real-time feedback to guide each user to their ideal shave-both through an app and via a light-ring collar that glows orange, green, or purple depending on how well you're doing. Just as a great book teaches you how to read it, this shaver apparently teaches you how to shave with it."
The Philips Norelco i9000 Prestige Ultra is an AI-trained electric shaver that gives real-time feedback via a phone app and a color-changing light-ring collar. The device guides users to apply optimal pressure and adapt technique, resulting in a notably closer shave with minimized skin irritation. The shaver features a flexible shaving face that conforms to head, face, and neck, a high water resistance rating, and a seven-year warranty. Trade-offs include a short native battery runtime of about an hour and a phone app that significantly drains phone battery. Precision trimming performance is useful but not flawless.
